Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 94,184,605, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 94,184,605 | |
| -1 | -94,184,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 94,184,605.
Example:
1 x 94,184,605 = 94,184,605
and
-1 x -94,184,605 = 94,184,605
Notice both answers equal 94,184,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 94,184,605 and divide it by 2:
94,184,605 ÷ 2 = 47,092,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 47,092,302.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 94,184,605 | |
| -1 | -94,184,605 |
Now, we try dividing 94,184,605 by 3:
94,184,605 ÷ 3 = 31,394,868.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 31,394,868.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 94,184,605 | |
| -1 | -94,184,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
94,184,605 ÷ 4 = 23,546,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 23,546,151.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 94,184,605 | |
| -1 | 94,184,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 461 | 1,409 | 2,305 | 7,045 | 13,369 | 40,861 | 66,845 | 204,305 | 649,549 | 3,247,745 | 18,836,921 | 94,184,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -461 | -1,409 | -2,305 | -7,045 | -13,369 | -40,861 | -66,845 | -204,305 | -649,549 | -3,247,745 | -18,836,921 | -94,184,605 |
